Lectures, conferences, summer schools or workshops - with our diverse events we offer scientists and the interested public insights into our research as well as various opportunities for further education and dialogue. Numerous formats offer space for exchange on exciting research topics and the opportunity to establish valuable contacts in the scientific community.
Besides a number of nonrecurring events, there are also a number of regularly scheduled events that take place at the CASA Cluster of Excellence. These include, for example:
